At last! Lockdown is (almost) over and British summer has arrived - so LET’S RAVE!!

To create space for weekend artventures, we’re moving Sketchy Bitches from its traditional Sunday time slot to Friday evenings, from 6-8pm BST. This is just for the summer months - we’ll resume our Sunday sessions in Sketchtember!

FIRST UP = NEON NIGHT!

This is a chance to experiment and draw portraits with neon inks, highlighters, POSCAs, paints…whatever you can get your hands on really! (Check out our recommendations below). As usual, we’ll do a quick warm-up then invite people to pose (for 8 minutes) whilst the rest of us draw their portrait. There’s no pressure to pose, or to share your work.

OPTIONAL DRESS CODE = NEON 80S/90S

NEW FACES & BEGINNERS VERY WELCOME - IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!

Tickets = £10 Standard / £6 Concessions

OLD SKOOL! Naomi’s neon twist on 90s raver Helen Girling ;)

NIFTY NEONS!

Fluorescent POSCA pens - get a big bold line and speedy colour coverage with an 8mm broad tip or two! They cost around £5 in most art shops but The Online Pen Company is selling them at a bargain £3.25 each.

Old school highlighters are great to sketch with, and you can grab from pretty much anywhere!
